Thanks for your response. By the way how did you find this thread? I thought it might’ve long been lost to the sea of submissions.

This is a good perspective, and you’re right. I don’t want to be a tech lead. It just seems like all senior eng roles imply that.

Decaf is it fair to say that you’re experiencing the same thing? I’m not actually at a Fortune 500, I shouldn’t have said that. Tech is a profit center and I’m in the Bay Area.

Yeah I’m just wondering if I should either work at a place where tech is a cost center or just seek a less exhausting L4 role somewhere.

That is fair. Are you in the Bay Area?
